Google will eat at it further with stuff like this from the article:

"Google knows this, so it adds a “Question and Answers” block before the first SERP result, probably diverting a tremendous amount of traffic away from that page."

They scrape answers from sites that they used to send traffic to and publish it themselves. In many cases, though, those sites won't exist without the incentive of organic search traffic.

I get why Google does it, but it does create a feedback loop where less of that info will be out there to scrape.
